Savvy travelers know the value of Global Entry, a US government program that enables expedited clearance for your arrival at a US airport when you land from international destinations. Fundamentally, the application and acceptance are a way of earning the government’s trust before you travel.  It’s totally worth the hassle. You won’t be sorry once […]

Have you heard of Pantelleria? If you haven’t, you’re not alone. I think I impressed one of the Italian partners I met with at ILTM last fall because I had heard of it.

London looms large in the imagination. It’s the setting for so much history, theater, culture, literature, and more. Travel and Leisure selected the United Kingdom as THE destination of the year for 2023, and we here at PWT are all over it and so excited! Many years ago, my father asked me where I wanted […]

Scotland is such a beautiful place to visit because of its natural beauty, rich history and culture, and vibrant cities. I honestly believe that a large part of the success of Outlander is down to the spectacular scenery. From the rugged highlands to the rolling hills and pristine lochs, the Scottish landscape is a feast […]

You probably have a financial advisor. But you know what makes even more sense? Having a travel advisor. You can always make more money — but we cannot make more time (yet!). Your time is your most precious non-renewable asset. And the most valuable time of all is your leisure time. Travel advisors like myself […]
